Wegner: No title slip-up this time

ARSENE WENGER has insisted the hurt of throwing away the title last season will ensure Arsenal do not allow their nine-point lead to slip through their grasp this time around.

Twelve months ago, after beating Charlton at Highbury, Arsenal held an eight-point advantage over Manchester United, albeit having played an extra game.

Alex Ferguson's team, nevertheless, still won the title and while United are in nowhere near such good form, Wenger will seek to ensure his side taking nothing for granted.
